Nonstick coating on inner pot is peeling or flaking.

Safety first: Discontinue using a severely flaking nonstick pot to avoid ingesting coating particles.

• 1. Inspect coating: Remove the pot and examine the interior for bubbles, deep scratches, or flaking.
• 2. Replace pot: If the coating is compromised, purchase a Chefman-compatible replacement inner pot.
• 3. Prevent future damage: Use only silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils and non-abrasive sponges. Avoid preheating the pot empty on high heat.
